I have a question for you guys, are you still running a 20:1 mix in your 10gx's? I know Pete had responded quite a while back that they may relax the oil requirements in the engine due to the late addition of a roller bearing in the big end of the con-rod (which I believe was one of the main reasons for so much oil to begin with as compared to most other gas engines), but I have looked at the manual online and it still lists 20:1. I have other gas engines and it would be much easier to have one can of 32:1 to use for all of them so I was just seeing if any of you were using such a mixture. I really do not think it needs so much oil, if it still had a plain bearing in the big end then maybe, but even being of ABC construction 20:1 just seems pretty excessive.
